For bugs

  • Rule Id (if any, e.g. SC1000): SC2086
  • My shellcheck version (shellcheck --version or 'online'): online
  • I tried on shellcheck.net and verified that this is still a problem on the latest commit
  • It's not reproducible on shellcheck.net, but I think that's because it's an OS, configuration or encoding issue

For new checks and feature suggestions

Here's a snippet or screenshot that shows the problem:

#! /bin/sh

f() {
        # shellcheck disable=SC3043 # busybox sh supports "local"
        local a=$1
        echo "$a"
}

Here's what shellcheck currently says:

Line 5	SC2086: Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.

Here's what I wanted or expected to see:

Nothing. There's nothing wrong with the assignment, and shellcheck behaves correctly if dialect is set to bash; there may be an interaction with the silencing of SC3043
